Audi Recalls A3 and TT

Audi has issued a recall on A3 hatchbacks made during model years 2006-2010, and on model year 2008-2010 TT coupes and roadsters. The problem concerns a faulty fuel tank ventilation valve.

According to NHTSA, a defective spring in this valve isn't strong enough to hold the valve closed during extreme driving conditions. This could cause a fuel leak that, in the presence of an ignition source, could trigger a vehicle fire.

Owners may take their recalled vehicles in to Audi dealers where the valves will be replaced free of charge. For more details, contact Audi at 1-800-253-2834.
